We had an association with Ukraine long before the war.Quote:

Hard to see us winning the league with the fixtures remaining for the top four but all the claims the Uglies would ruin women's football seem unfounded. What a great league with 4 teams still in with a great chance. The Derby loss and that Partick draw were points that we had every chance of picking up but ended up with a single point.
There's still the post split fixtures to be played.Quote:

Apart from football-driven issues like Show Racism the Red Card I've rarely seen any of the issues you mention given mileage at ER.Quote:

We watched teams across the UK, Hibs included, take the knee for Black Lives Matter for over half a season.Quote:

We have a yearly "rainbow laces" campaign for the LGBTQ community, and grounds around the UK, Europe, and the World regularly showed Ukraine flags in support of the country.
The Hibs ladies actually played in yellow and blue for a fixture to highlight the situation.
So football, and our own club, has actively been involved in social and political issues for a good while.
It isn't up to football, or Hibs, to pass judgement on what political protest is acceptable.
Neither the Irish flag, or the Palestinian flag represent terrorism, the Irish flag is actually a flag representing peace between the communities.
If those flags represent terrorism, then I can't imagine what the world thinks of the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes, or the Star of David for that matter.
I never realised the league split. Very much all to play for then and we look to be in great form.Quote:

When it comes to viewing flags in their proper context, anyone watching today's Auschwitz commemorations will see only a symbol of Jewish identity in the Star of David.
I'm conscious of taking this thread way off tangent.Quote:

Any idea how you go about getting the family of 4 ticket in your basket on Motherwell’s ticket site?
Surely showing solidarity with Ukraine was also protesting against Russia?Quote:

First call-ups for Eilidh Adams and Erin Clachers 👏🏴👏
A fresher squad, the post-Losa period already feels brighter
In the press today
"Celtic manager Sadiku wants more financial support, suggesting her budget is on the same level as Hibs and Hearts and is dwarfed by the resources of Glasgow City and Rangers".
Think the word suggesting is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the journalists sentence given they steal our players so I presumed that Celtic PLC pay a bigger wage than Hibs.
2-0 up at half time away to Queens Park, keeping pace with the Glasgow 3. Hearts dropped points against Partick earlier.
FT's
Glasgow City 8 Montrose 0
Hearts 1 Partick Thistle 1
Rangers 10 Aberdeen 0
Queen's Park 0 Hibernian 2
Motherwell 4 Spartans 1
Shaping up to be an exciting finish to the league. Just two points between the top four.Quote:

Next up another tough game for Hibs women against 3rd bottom Montrose who currently have a goal difference of -60 so a bit of a step up in class from today.
Next proper game for Hibs is on the 2nd March against Celtic. The team will be well rested for that challenge after the Queens Park and Montrose processions.
A great effort by the team, management and coaches this season to be in the mix with the big 3 at this stage.
